Cloze answer U2(P50)BCADA CABCA DDABC CACBA U3(P80)CACBD BCDAB CBCBA CDABA U4(P109)BCBAD BDBCA BCACD ACACA

Translation U1 六年前，作者經歷了一場驚險的旅程。這次經歷讓他印象深刻，因為他在這場緊急的事故中找到了真正的英雄。一個周五的早上，航班前往亞特蘭大。飛機起飛不久，飛行員向乘客通報緊急情況：一個引擎失控了，液壓系統已經失靈了。更糟糕的是，他們都將會墜機。忽然間，機艙里一片恐慌。許多乘客臉色蒼白，四周都在哭喊。在混亂中，一把溫柔冷靜的婦女聲音傳來，她正在安慰自己的女兒。母親似乎沒有被四周的悲傷和恐懼影響。即使面對死亡，她依然堅定的告訴女兒她有多么愛她，她把女兒包裹在懷里，盡可能的保護她。幸運的是，飛機安全著陸。母親對女兒的那份愛向人們展示了什么是真正的勇氣。

The author went through a breathtaking travel six years ago and the experience impressed him deeply because he found a real hero in that emergency.On one Friday morning, a flight headed for Atlanta.Soon after the plane took off, the pilot announced the urgent crisis that one engine was broken and the hydraulic system had failed.Worse still, they might be about to crash.Suddenly, panic spread all over the crowd.Many passengers lookgrim and pale.All around, people cried and screamed.In the chaos, there was a soft and calm voice from a woman who was trying to comfort her daughter.The mother seemed undisturbed by the sounds of grief and fear around her.Even when facing death, the mother still told her daughter firmly about how much she loved her, and put her body over her daughter, trying to protect her as much as she could.Fortunately, the plane landed safely.No one was hurt in the emergency.However, the mother’s love for her daughter showed people what real courage was.U2 我告訴他，我絆倒在地時聽到了撕裂聲。然而我的丈夫，不但不理會我說的，而且聲稱，一定是我的鞋帶問題。所以，即便我的腳腫的像個氣球，但我們并不知道我的腳崴了，因為他沒有送我去看醫生。在去機場的12個小時的飛行中，他把我一個人扔在借來的輪椅上，完全沒有注意到我要去洗手間的手勢。

I told him that I heard a snapping sound when I stumble and fell.But he, my husband, not only dismissed what I said but also contended that it must have been the strap on my shoes snapping.Therefore, we didn’t know my foot was broken because he didn’t send me to a doctor even though my foot was swollen like a balloon.During the 12-hour flight to the airport, he left me alone in the borrowed wheelchair and pretended that he didn’t notice my gestures indicating the need of going to the bathroom.U3 你可以找到緩解壓力的方法，并很快重新掌握自己的身體。你也可以學會如何先使身體放松，隨之帶動精神放松。你也可以學看如何放松精神進而掌控自己的工作狀態。一旦壓力消退，人們就會很快解決工作中出現的問題。

You can find relief from stress and regain control fairly quickly.You can learn how to relax your body, and then your mind will follow.You can also learn to relax your mind and take control of your work situations.Once the stress is gone they tend to solve their work problems very quickly.U4 當天，我走進教室，聽到了一些議論聲。議論的是一個來自中國的大一女生，這引起了我的關注。我想見下這位神秘的女孩，我確實見了。助理院長讓我帶這個女孩去安排下午的事情，我們的旅程開始了。第一站是她的宿舍，房間的一半非常干凈，以至于難以說清這是否有人住，房間的另一半則是一片狼藉。當然，干凈整潔的這半邊是中國女孩的。

This day, as I entered my class, some gossip came into my ears.It was about a new freshmangirl from China, who aroused my curiosity.I wanted to meet the mysterious figure and I did.The Assistant Dean called me over to take the girl to her afternoon activity.So we started our journey.The first stop was her dorm.Half of the room was so tidy that it was hard to tell whether there was existence of human beings.The other half was totally a mess.Of course, the neat half belonged to the Chinese girl.U5 我們所擁有的資產會快速貶值的原因是一旦我們已經擁有了，就會對之失去興趣。在這種情況下，我們就可以用這些物品進行合作消費。相關研究人員告訴我們傳統的分享已經變身為租賃業務，并將在未來十年中蓬勃發展。考慮到人口的快速增長，集體消費將完全符合“資源共享，以物易物，貿易，租賃”這一新的趨勢。在進行合作消費時，如何理順合作關系將成為最具挑戰的問題：在同一時間，人們都需要同一件物品怎么辦？在這個資源越來越少的世界，我們別無選擇，只能與他人，甚至陌生人一起分享財富，這未嘗不是一個明智的選擇。The reason why the value of the assets we possess depreciates quickly is that we already have the ownership and we may lose interest in them.Under this circumstance, these items can be used for collaborative consumption.The relevant shows us that traditional sharing already transformed into rental business which will thrive in the following decade.Considering the growth of population, collaborative consumption conforms to the trend– sharing, bartering, trading and renting.The biggest challenge of collaborative consumption is streamlining operations because people may need or want the same item at the same time.In this on-going world with resources which are declining in amount, we have no choice but to collaborate with others, even strangers to spread the wealth.

第五篇：英語期末翻譯

2）畫蛇添足（西漢）劉向

楚有祠者，賜其舍人卮酒。舍人相謂曰：“數人飲之不足，一人飲之有余。請畫地為蛇，先成者飲酒。” 一人蛇先成，引酒且飲之，乃左手持卮，右手畫蛇曰：“我能為之足！”未成，一人之蛇成奪取卮曰：“蛇固無足，子安能為之足？”遂飲其酒。為蛇足者，終亡其酒。白話譯文：

古代楚國有個人祭過祖宗以后，把一壺酒賞給來幫忙祭祀的門客一壺酒。門客們互相商量說：“大家一起喝這壺酒不足夠，一個人喝它還有剩余。要求大家在地上畫蛇，先畫好的人喝這壺酒。”一個人最先完成了，拿起酒壺準備飲酒，卻左手拿著酒壺，右手畫蛇，說：“我能夠為它畫腳。”他還沒有把腳畫完，另一個人的蛇畫好了，搶過他的酒壺，說：“蛇本來就沒有腳，你怎么能給它畫腳呢?”話剛說完，就把那壺酒喝完了。那個給蛇畫腳的人，最終失掉了那壺酒。

英譯：The Man Who Draws a Snake and Adds Feet to It

By Liu Xiang of the Western Han Dynasty A native of Chu after worshipping his ancestors gave his retainers a pot of wine.One of the retainers said, “It is insufficient for all of us, but too much for one of us.I suggest, therefore, that we draw snakes on the ground, and the one who first finishes drawing the snake will win the pot of wine.” When one retainer had completed his drawing, he took the pot to drink.As he held it in his left hand, he continued to draw the snake with his right hand, saying: “I can add feet to it.” While he was adding feet to his snake, another man who had then drawn his snake snatched the pot from his hand, protesting: “No snake has feet.How can you add feet to it?” Then he took the wine.The man who added feet to the snake lost his prize at last.參考譯文： 1）根據傳說，伏羲生于中國西部，出生之前在其母腹中孕育了12年。伏羲教會了人類打獵、捕魚、馴養野獸、飼養家禽。伏羲制定了人類的嫁娶制度，教會人們劈柴取火和烹煮食物；此外，他還通過龜背上的裂紋創立了八卦，這些八卦成為數學、醫學、占卜學和風水的基礎。伏羲創造了中華民族的圖騰龍，被認為是中國歷史上第一個真正的統治者。

1）Fuxi was born in the west part of China and, according to legend, he was carried in his mother’s womb for twelve years before birth.He taught people how to hunt, fish, domesticate animals and tend their flocks.He instituted marriage and taught people how to devise tools to split wood, kindle fire and cook food.He devised the Trigrams, which evolved from markings on tortoise shells.These trigrams served as the basis for mathematics, medicine, divination and geomancy.Furthermore, he created the Chinese dragon as the totem of the nation and was considered as the first real ruler.1）儒家的創始人是孔子（公元前551—479），他提出了一套道德規范，基于五種美德：仁、義、禮、智、信。其中“仁”被認為是他的哲學理念的基石，代表著忠誠、孝道(filial piety)、寬容和善良。他還提倡人與人之間和諧相處、按照行為規范標準建立生活社區。他的追隨者之一孟子(公元前372-289)不斷地向統治者們游說，試圖說服他們修身養德，為人典范，以仁政贏得人民的尊重。1）Confucius(551—479 BC)was the founder of Confucianism.He advocated a set of moral code on basis of five merits: benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness.Among them, benevolence was considered as the cornerstone of his philosophy, which stands for faithfulness, filial piety, tolerance and kindness.He also requested people to keep in good harmony with each other and establish a community ruled by standard manners and behavior.One of his followers, Mencius(372-289BC), repeatedly tried to convince rulers that the ruler should cultivate moral perfection in order to set a good example to the people and the ruler who governed benevolently would earn the respect of the people.2）中國哲學有著幾千年的歷史，其起源可以追溯到《易經》，其中介紹一些最重要的中國哲學概念。自始至終中國哲學的核心就是對人與社會的現實關注、如何過理想的生活，以及如何去組織社會。倫理（ethics）和政治哲學(political philosophy)常常要超越在形而上學（metaphysics）和現象學（epistemology）理論之上。中國哲學的另一個特征是反映了自然和自我，因而產生了天人合一、人在天地之間的位置，以及對差異（differentiation）和變化的闡釋。2）Chinese philosophy has a history of several thousand years;its origins are often traced back to the I Ching(the Book of Changes), which introduced some of the most fundamental terms of Chinese philosophy.The central focus of Chinese philosophy throughout the ages has been a practical concern with man and society, how to live an ideal life, and how best to organize society.Ethics and political philosophy have often taken precedence over metaphysics and epistemology.Another characteristic of Chinese philosophy has been reflections on nature and the self, which has resulted in the development of themes like unity between man and Heaven, the place of man in the cosmic order, and the explanations of differentiation and change.1)“送別”是唐詩里常見的主題。通過贈詩給一個即將離別的友人，詩人常常表達自己的悲傷之情。送別詩里常用的意象(image)有音樂、酒和柳枝。音樂是送別儀式必不可少的部分。音樂通常由琵琶等古典樂器演奏，旋律優美而悲傷。在這種場合，喝酒也是必要的。也許這是因為酒能夠讓人得到安慰，忘卻生活中的煩惱以及與友人離別的愁緒。送別的另一個風俗便是為友人送上柳枝。因為“柳”和“留”同音。通過這種方式，詩人就表達了讓友人永遠留下來的愿望。

‘Parting’ was a common theme in Tang poetry.By writing a poem to a friend who was leaving, the poet usually showed his sorrow and sadness.Images frequently used in a parting poem included music, liquor and a willow twig.Music was an important section of the parting ceremony.The music, which was often melodious and sorrowful, was played by traditional instruments such as ‘Pipa’.Drinking liquor was also a necessary part on these occasions.Perhaps it was because liquor could console people and help them forget troubles in life and the sadness of parting from a friend.Another custom was giving a willow twig to the leaving friend, since ‘willow’ in Chinese has the same pronunciation of that of ‘stay’.In this way, the poet expressed his wish that his friend stay with him forever.2)《紅樓夢》（Dream of the Red Chamber）是中國文學“四大名著”之一。它寫于18世紀中葉，并被認為是中國文學中的杰作(masterpiece)以及中國小說史上的頂峰。許多學者都致力于該作品的研究，而這個研究領域也被稱作“紅學”(Redology)。人們通常認為該小說反映了作者曹雪芹自己的經歷以及他家族的興衰。該書的優秀之處不僅在于它的情節和人物塑造(characterization)，同時也在于它對當時社會生活結構的精確、細節的描寫。幾個世紀以來，小說中的許多詞句已經融入了中國人的日常語言。由此可見該書經久不衰的魅力。

2）Dream of the Red Chamber is one of the ‘Four Great Classical Novels’ of Chinese literature.It was written in the middle of the 18th century and considered as a masterpiece of Chinese literature as well as the peak of Chinese fiction.Many scholars are devoted to the study of this novel and the field of study is known as ‘Redology’.The novel is usually thought to be reflecting the experience of the author Cao Xueqin and the rise and decline of his own family.It is remarkable for not only its plot and characterization, but also its precise and detailed observation of the life and social structures of that time.For centuries, a huge number of words and expressions from the novel have already been incorporated into the daily language of Chinese people, which demonstrates the ever-lasting charm of the book.1）中國古代教育在中國文化中起著舉足輕重的作用。中國古代教育最早可以追溯到周朝中后期諸子百家的教育思想。古代中國的教育給人們提供了一個平等的發展機會，即使出身貧寒的人也有可能步入仕途。春秋時期，偉大的教育家孔子打破“學在官府”的陳規。私人學堂盛行。不同的學派通過學堂傳播他們的思想主張，出現了百家爭鳴的局面。

1)Education played a vital role in ancient Chinese culture.The origin of ancient Chinese education dates back to the educational ideas of the ―Hundred Schools of Thought‖ in the middle and late Zhou Dynasty.It provided people equal chance for development.Individuals from even the humblest backgrounds could rise to higher level.In the Spring and Autumn Period, Confucius, the great educator, broke the rule of learning at the government hall.Private schools prevailed and many scholars of different schools of thought spread their teaching in this way and this led to the flourishing and contending of hundreds of schools.2）孔子既是教育家又是哲學家。他的思想理論規范影響著人們的倫理、道德、生活等方方面面。孔子思想的特征之一是他十分強調教育與學習。在思與學的關系上，他認為學思并重。他認為，“學而不思則罔，思而不學則殆。”對孔子來說，道德教育是最重要的。孔子的目的是培養舉止優雅、言談得體、遇事周全的謙謙君子。

2)Confucius was an educator as well as a philosopher.His thoughts and theories had impact on people in many aspects such as ethics, moral principles and rules of life.One of the features of Confucius’ thoughts is his emphasis on education and learning.In the relationship between learning and thinking, he believed.that learning and thinking were equally important.He believed that, ―Learning without thought is labor lost;thought without learning is perilous.‖ He considered moral education the most important.Confucius’s goal was to create gentlemen who would carry themselves with grace, speak correctly, and demonstrate integrity in all things.1）沈括是宋朝的著名官員、軍事將領。他的不朽名著《夢溪筆談》(Dream Pool Essays)記載了包括地質學、天文學、活字印刷（movable type printing）、植物學和動物學等各種學科。該書是中國歷史上最早使用“石油”這一名稱的著作，為自然科學做出了卓越貢獻。沈括與當時的很多人不同，他以一種客觀而思辨的態度觀察自然現象。他提出了用陽歷代替陰歷的主張，立春為歲首，大月31天，小月30天。

1）Shen Kuo was a highly renowned government official and military general of the Song Dynasty.Shen Kuo’s immortal masterpiece Dream Pool Essays records various fields of study including geology, astronomy, movable type printing, botany and zoology etc.In the book, the word ―shiyou‖(petroleum)was used for the first time in the literature of Chinese history, which was his remarkable contribution to science.Unlike most people in his time, Shen Kuo took an objective and speculative viewpoint on natural phenomena.He advocated that the solar calendar be used to replace the lunar calendar, with thirty-one or thirty days a month and ―lichun‖(―Start of Spring‖ according to lunisolar calendar)as the beginning of a year.2）徐光啟（1562年～1633年）是中國明朝的數學家和農業科學家。他身為政府高官，最早將西方科技成就引入中國，也是明朝末年最早信奉天主教的文人。天主教早期之所以在中國傳播，得力于一些中國政府官員和文人的幫助，特別是徐光啟。徐光啟撰寫了《農政全書》（Complete Treatise on Agriculture）這部農業百科全書。該書基本上囊括了諸如農田灌溉、農具制作、植樹放牧及生產養蠶等古代農業生產和人民生活的各個方面。

2)Xu Guangqi(1562-1633)was a Chinese mathematician and agricultural scientist in the Ming Dynasty.As a top official, Xu was perceived as a pioneer introducing Western scientific achievements in China and also the first intellectual believer in Catholicism in the late Ming Dynasty.The spread of Catholicism in China in the early ages owed much to some officials and intellectuals, especially Xu Guangqi.Xu compiled Complete Treatise on Agriculture, an agricultural encyclopedia.The book basically includes all the subjects concerned about various domains in the life and production of ancient Chinese people, such as irrigation, farm tools, planting trees, herding, manufacturing, and silkworm breeding.1）中國龍是吉祥的生靈，象征著力量、智慧、好運和掌控風和水的威力。因此，中國人自豪地稱自己是龍的傳人（descendants）。龍被尊崇為雨神（the God of Rain）。在干旱或水災發生時，人們會去當地的龍王廟（dragon-king temple）燒香祈求情況的好轉。龍對雨水和海浪的控制也和其在12生肖中的地位密切相關。關于這12種動物為確保能榜上有名所進行的競賽有各種傳說，但順序是按動物最活躍的時間點確定的。龍對應于7點至9點，此時最有可能會霧氣蒙蒙，而龍卻能騰云駕霧。

1）The Chinese dragon is an auspicious creature, symbolizing strength, wisdom, good luck and power over the elements of wind and water.As such, Chinese people proudly claim they are the descendants of the dragon.The dragon was worshiped as the God of Rain, and in times of drought or flooding, locals would visit a dragon-king temple and burn incense to pray for more favorable conditions.The dragon's power to control rain and waves is also closely related to its rank in the 12 zodiac animals.Various tales describe the race of these 12 animals to secure their place on the list, but the sequence is determined by the time of day when the animal is most active.The dragon corresponds to 7 am to 9 am, when it is most likely to be foggy, allowing the dragon to ride atop clouds and mist.2）風水，字面意即為―風和水‖，可追溯至中國戰國時期（公元前475-221）。在古代，也被稱為堪輿。按傳統，建造房屋、樓群、定居點和陵墓前都要先咨詢風水大師。風水一度是中國傳統文化中的重要組成部分，它依據諸如道家和《易經》等中國古代哲學學說，強調了人與環境的和諧共存。看風水的做法從地理、建筑、倫理和預言等方面，提倡了道家的天、地、人合一的理念。風水被賦予神秘感。事實上，古時它是被廣泛應用于東方建筑的一種古老藝術。中國的許多著名的文化名勝，包括北京的故宮，都是按照風水原則設計的。風水學對中國社會產生了深遠的影響并為大眾所接受。

2)Feng shui, literally ―wind and water‖, dates from China’s Warring States Period(475-221 BC).In ancient times, the practice was also called kanyu.Traditionally, a feng shui master was consulted before houses, buildings, settlements or tombs were constructed.Based on ancient Chinese philosophies, including Taoism and Yijing, feng shui was once an important part of traditional Chinese culture and emphasizes the harmonious coexistence of humans and their environment.Following the disciplines of geography, architecture, ethics and prophecy, the practice also promotes the Taoist principle that the earth, sky and mankind are part of a single whole.Feng shui is considered mysterious.In fact, it is an ancient art widely used to orient buildings in olden times.Many of China’s well-known cultural monuments, including the Forbidden City in Beijing, were designed using feng shui principles.Feng shui has a profound effect on Chinese society and is widely embraced by the public.1）首都北京是中華人民共和國政治、文化和行政管理的中心，是一個新舊交融、魅力無限的大都市(metropolis)。北京作為人類居住地的歷史已超過了3000多年。作為世界上少數未傍主要河道而建的內陸首都之一，北京將自己長期顯赫的歷史歸功于戰略性的地理位置。北京位于北緯39o56'，東經116o20', 雄踞于華北平原(the North China Plain)的最北部；西北部是山西省和內蒙古大草原(he Inner Mongolian Steppe)，東向是渤海(the Bohai Sea)。

1）Beijing, as the capital city, is the political, cultural and administrative center of the People’s Republic of China, as well as a fascinating metropolis that mixes the old and new.Beijing as a settlement has a history of more than 3,000 years.It is one of the few inland capitals in the world that is not built beside a major river, which owes its long prominence to its strategic geographical position.Beijing is situated at 39o56' North Latitude and 116o20' East Longitude, majestically reposing on the northmost part of the North China Plain;to the northwest lie Shanxi Province and the Inner Mongolian Steppe, and towards the east is the Bohai Sea.2）胡同即狹窄的街道或巷子，在中國北方的城市很常見，其中又以北京的胡同最為著名。在北京，很多街區是這樣形成的：四合院(Chinese quadrangle)彼此相連形成胡同，進而胡同彼此相連形成街區。胡同是北京文化要素的代表。由于北京悠久的歷史和六朝古都的地位，幾乎每個胡同都有其軼事趣聞(anecdotes)，一些胡同甚至還與歷史事件緊密相關。與紫禁城、頤和園和天壇所代表的宮廷生活和精英文化(elite culture)相比，胡同反應了北京的平民文化。

2）Hutongs are a type of narrow streets or alleys, commonly associated with northern Chinese cities, most prominently Beijing.In Beijing, many neighborhoods were formed by joining one Chinese quadrangle(siheyuan)to another to form a hutong, and then joining one hutong to another.Hutongs represent an important cultural element of the city of Beijing.Thanks to Beijing’s long history and status as capital for six dynasties, almost every hutong has its anecdotes, and some are even associated with historic events.In contrast to the court life and elite culture represented by the Forbidden City, the Summer Palace, and the Temple of Heaven, the hutongs reflect the culture of grassroots Beijingers.1）茶之為物，能引導我們進入一個默想人生的世界。采茶必須天氣清明的清早，當山上的空氣極為清新，露水的芬芳尚留于葉上時，所采的茶葉方稱上品。因此，茶是凡間純潔的象征，在采制烹煮(infusion)的手續中，都須十分清潔。采摘烘焙(fermenting)，烹煮取飲之時，手上或杯壺中略有油膩不潔，便會使它喪失美味。所以也只有在眼前和心中毫無富麗繁華的景象和念頭時，方能真正的享受它。(節選自林語堂《茶與交友》)

1)There is something in the nature of tea that leads us into a world of quiet contemplation of life.Picked at early dawn on a clear day, when the morning air on mountain top was clear and thin, and the fragrance of dews was still upon the leaves, tea is still associated with the fragrance and refinement of the magic dew in its enjoyment.Tea is then symbolic of earthly purity, requiring the most fastidious(嚴苛的)cleanliness in its preparation.From picking, fermenting and preserving to its final infusion and drinking, easily upset or spoiled by the slightest contamination of oily hands or oily cups.Consequently, its enjoyment is appropriate in an atmosphere where all ostentation(虛飾)or suggestion of luxury is banished from one's eyes and one's thoughts.（Excerpted from ―Tea and Friendship‖ by Lin Yutang）

2)書法作品跟舞蹈藝術一樣可以展現肢體和動作的美感。相互之間能吸收靈感。張旭，唐代草書（cursive-script calligraphy）大家，以韻律獨特和風格豪放而著稱。傳說，他觀舞蹈名家公孫一舞而悟，書法大有長進。舞者通過獨特的節奏和利落的動作展示了諸如活潑、喜悅、悲傷、憤怒、渴望、需求、勇氣和靈感等多種魅力和和情感。張旭草書、李白詩歌和裴旻劍舞被當朝皇帝譽為三絕。

2)Calligraphic works can demonstrate the beauty of both the body and movement, like the art of dance.They can absorb inspiration from each other.Zhang Xu, a cursive-script calligraphy master of the Tang Dynasty, was famous for distinctive rhythms and a wild style.Legend says that he made swift progress in his calligraphy after he got inspiration from a dance performed by the famous dancer Gongsun.Through distinctive rhythms and neat movements, the dancer demonstrates various kinds of charms and emotions such as vividness, joy, sadness, anger, aspiration, demand, boldness and inspiration.The cursive-script calligraphic works by Zhang Xu, the poems by Li Bai and the sword dance by Pei Min were praised as the three wonders by the emperor of their time.1）重視教育和尊敬師長是中國悠久的傳統美德。中國的第一部教育學專著《學記》(Record of Learning)提出了“教學為先”的思想。三千年前的周代，國家設立了不同規模不同層次的學校，由官員兼任教師。春秋時期，孔子開辦了私學，并提出人無論貴賤都有受教育的權利。對教育的重視決定了教師的地位。中國民間有許多尊師的說法，如“一日為師，終生為父”。現在，中國還把每年的9月10日定為“教師節”。

1)It is a long-standing traditional virtue to value education and respect teachers in China.The first monograph about education in China, the Record of Learning, brought up the idea of ―education is the top priority‖.Three thousand years ago, in the Zhou Dynasty, the government set up schools of different scales and levels with officers as teachers.In the Spring and Autumn Period, Confucius even ran private schools with a slogan that everyone, rich or poor, had the right to receive education.Respect for education determines the status of teachers.There are a lot of sayings that show respect towards teachers, such as ―A teacher for a day is a father for a lifetime‖.Nowadays, September the tenth is designated to be the Teachers’ Day in China.2）孝順(Filial piety)是中國文化中一個重要的美德，指的是一個人對父母和祖先的尊重。歷史上儒家經典作品《孝經》(Classic of Xiao or Filial Piety)一直被認為是該美德的權威(authoritative)來源。該書介紹了如何利用孝順建立良好的社會。一般而言，孝順是指善待和照顧父母，尊敬父母、支 持父母、對父母講禮貌。也指不僅在家對父母在外對他人都要從善，從而為父母帶來好名聲。雖然中國人一直擁有眾多不同宗教信仰，孝順卻幾乎是所有人共同的。

1)Filial piety is considered a key virtue in Chinese culture, which is about the respect for one’s parents and ancestors.The Confucian classic, Classic of Xiao or Filial Piety, has historically been the authoritative source on this virtue.The book is about how to set up a good society using the filial piety.In more general terms, filial piety means to be good to and to take care of one's parents, to show respect, support and courtesy to one’s parents.It also means to engage in good conduct not just towards parents but also outside the home so as to bring a good name to one’s parents.Although the Chinese have had a diversity of religious beliefs, filial piety has been common to almost all of them.敦煌莫高窟（The Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes），也稱千佛洞，位于甘肅省敦煌市附近的鳴沙山東路石崖上。它被認為是世界上最大最古老的佛教藝術寶藏。莫高窟的修建始于366年，在唐代達到鼎盛，但到了元朝才竣工。現存492個窟和1045幅壁畫(mural)，以及245座彩繪泥塑(clay sculpture)和5個唐宋時期的木質建筑結構。除此之外，莫高窟還存有大量的橫跨三國到北宋數個朝代的經文(scripture)、文獻和繪畫。敦煌莫高窟展示出各類藝術形式的精華，同時也體現了中西方的藝術融合。

1）The Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes, also known as the One-Thousand-Buddha Grottoes, are located on the eastern, rocky side of Mingsha Mountain, near the city of Dunhuang, Gansu Province.They are regarded as the world's largest and oldest treasure house of Buddhist art.Construction of the Mogao Grottoes began in 366 and reached a peak in the Tang Dynasty, but it was not finished until the Yuan Dynasty.Now, there are 492 grottoes and 1,045 murals in existence.It also features 245 painted clay sculptures, and five wooden architectural structures of the Tang and the Song Dynasties.Besides, there are also a lot of items of scriptures, documents and paintings spanning the period from the Three Kingdoms Period to the Northern Song Dynasty.The Mogao Grottoes show examples of various types of art and demonstrate the integration of Chinese and Western arts.2)《清明上河圖》(The Qingming Festival by the Riverside)是由北宋畫家張擇端(1085–1145)創作完成的。它是一副長528厘米，寬24.8厘米的彩色畫卷。該畫描述了清明節北宋都城汴京(今河南開封)熱鬧的街景，整幅畫可以分成三部分：郊區景、汴河景以及城市街景。汴河景是該畫最為壯觀的一部分；而作為政治、經濟、文化中心的汴京在北宋的重要地位則在城市街景中得以充分體現。畫卷對汴京的建筑、商人和交通的描繪形象地勾勒出北宋的經濟繁榮景象。《清明上河圖》是一幅偉大的稀世罕見的現實主義畫卷。

2)The Qingming Festival by the Riverside（or Along the River during the Qingming Festival）is a painting attributed to Song Dynasty artist Zhang Zeduan(1085–1145).It is a long colored painted scroll with a length of 528cm and a height of 24.8cm.It portrayed the busy street scenes of the capital city Bianjing(now Kaifeng, Henan Province)during the Qingming Festival.The painting can be divided into three parts: scenes of the suburbs, of the Bian River, and of the city streets.The scene of the Bian River is the most magnificent part of the painting.As Bianjing was the political, economic and cultural center of the Northern Song Dynasty, its importance in the empire was fully depicted in the painting's city street scene.The depiction of the architecture, merchants and transportation in Bianjing vividly reflects the economic boom of the Northern Song Dynasty.The Qingming Festival by the Riverside is a great and rare realistic painting.
